The full Coat of Arms is displayed at ceremonial occasions such as Convocation, and is used by the Chancellor, the titular head of the University. On the shield is a representation of the topography of Alberta rendered in the colours of the University. At the base is a prairie wheat field symbolizing Alberta’s agricultural industry. The wavy gold line above suggests the hills and rivers of Alberta and, in particular, the setting of the University campus. The top of the shield is in gold and separated from the rest of the shield by a line suggesting the Rocky Mountains. The book of learning dominates the design. On the crest is a Grand-Duc d’Amérique, or Great Horned Owl, the provincial bird and an accepted symbol of knowledge. The pronghorn, taken from the Provincial Coat of Arms, and the golden bear, mascot of the University, support the shield.

  • The University of Alberta's Contribution to World War 1
    For the Empire, the Nation and the West: The University of Alberta's Contribution to World | 3 War 1 David Borys, University of New Brunswick At the outbreak of war in August of 1914, the University of Alberta was one of the youngest educational institutions in Canada. It boasted only 439 students and an even smaller staff. However, its support of the war at home and abroad was one of dedication and commitment far beyond what was ever expected of this small institution. The years 1914- 1918 witnessed the University of Alberta become one of the leading educational institutions in Western Canada. This paper examines the university’s contribution to the war effort and chronicles its growth and maturation during these formative years. In 1915 the president of the University of Alberta, Henry Marshall Tory wrote about the University’s participation in World War 1 (WW1). He said that “the common patriotic impulse which stirred the whole of Canada and which found a voice in all the Universities of the country found expression amongst us.”1 At the outbreak of war in August 1914, the University of Alberta was one of the youngest educational institutions in Canada. It boasted only 439 students and a smaller staff. However, its support of the war at home and abroad was 1 H.M. Tory. Report of 1915 on University’s Contribution to the War, Date Unknown.

  • Annual Report 2019 the Royal Society of Canada
    The Royal Society of Canada Annual Report 2019 THE ENDURING MISSION OF THE RSC In order to establish the foundation for multiple initiatives, the Royal Society of Canada elects Fellows and Members while also presenting awards to highlight specific exceptional achievements. After rigorous evaluation and review of their accomplishments, leading individuals may be elected to one of the Society’s three Academies—the Academy of Arts and Humanities; the Academy of Social Sciences; and the Academy of Science. There are currently 2372 RSC Fellows. As a complement to the Academies, the RSC established The College of New Scholars, Scientists and Artists in 2014. The College recognizes individuals who have begun demonstrating leading scholarly, research or artistic excellence within 15 years of having completed their post-doctoral program or its equivalent. Members of the College are elected for a period of seven years. There are currently 325 Members of the College. In addition to Fellows and Members of the College, the RSC includes Institutional Members from throughout Canada that play key roles in advancing inclusive excellence for the benefit of Canada and the world. The RSC administers over 20 prestigious awards, most of which are awarded to those at various career stages in recognition of outstanding achievement. As emphasized in our by-laws, the RSC recognizes leaders in order to help them build a better future in Canada and around the world. For this reason, the RSC fulfills its mandate successfully to the extent that it recognizes excellence and then mobilizes the membership to make significant and substantial contributions of knowledge, understanding, and insight through engagement with the larger society.

  • History of Intellectual Culture
    History of Intellectual Culture www.ucalgary.ca/hic/ · ISSN 1492-7810 2002 · Vol. 2, No. 1 Academic Freedom, Academic Tenure, University Autonomy, and University Governance in Canada: A Bibliography Michiel Horn This bibliography has grown out of my book Academic Freedom in Canada: A History, published by the University of Toronto Press in 1999. For reasons of space, Gerry Hallowell of the Press and I agreed that the book should go into the world without a bibliography, the endnotes presumably being sufficient to meet the needs of readers wishing to consult the secondary sources. I hope the notes have served that purpose, but all the same I have come to regret the book’s failure to include a bibliography. A bibliography of works on academic freedom and tenure in Canada should prove useful to scholars and to educated people more generally. To increase its usefulness I have added to it books, journal articles, and dissertations on two subjects closely linked to academic freedom and tenure, i.e., university autonomy and university governance. The relations of universities with governments, church bodies, business corporations, and wealthy individuals have always affected academic freedom. So has the distribution of power among the president (or principal or rector), the Board of Governors (or Regents or Trustees), and the academic decision-making body (usually called the Senate). Nor can the influence of faculty members and (however limited) of students on institutional decision-making be ignored. I have spent many an hour searching the Internet as well as examining more traditional sources. None was more useful than the fine bibliography that forms part ofYouth, University and Canadian Society: Essays in the Social History of Higher Education (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 1989), edited by Paul Axelrod and John G.

The demise of the Defence Research Board demonstrated the triumph of business and public administration models over scientific management in spite of the successful defence research program. Among the successful projects of the Defence Research Board were satellites, research rockets, hydrofoils, nylon pile clothing, the wind chill factor, the strategic distinction between first and second nuclear strikes, open heart surgery, and blast trials. The strengths of the Defence Research Board were the scientific management practices that united the four Chairmen (Omond Solandt, Hartley Zimmerman, Robert Uffen and Léon L’Heureux) and the bench scientists. Over the course of its existence the Defence Research Board was shaped by six chains of events. 1. Solandt’s ability to recruit veterans from 1947 to 1953, 2.
